Gale Banks returns to share his take on the state of the automotive aftermarket industry and where he thinks the industry is going from his perspective as one of the last original owners still standing. This episode of The Truck Show Podcast is presented by Nissan in association with Banks Power.

The fellas start a deep and comprehensive conversation with one of the most important people in hot rodding, drag racing, and automotive engineering: Gale Banks.Gale talks about his background, influence, family and of course a smidge about forced induction.Bold moves.

Gale Banks wraps up his multi-part interview with Walt Ware, former President of Garrett AiResearch by revealing their biggest achievements. Did you know Walt was responsible for turbos in all Ford 7.3L Power Strokes? He was also responsible for creating the world's first robotic turbocharger assembly plant. The two also discuss how and why Banks transitioned from gas diesel to diesel performance in the early 80s. Banks Sidewinder Turbo Systems were available as a dealer-specified option at GMC dealers throughout the mid-80s. You could buy a GMC pickup or Suburban with a turbocharged 6.2L diesel engine a full year before RAM offered the Cummins turbo diesel! This is just one of the many stories the pair cover in this week's fascinating episode.

Gale Banks is joined again by Walt Ware, former President of Garrett Air Research, a powerhouse in the turbo business. Walt details his journey from fixing Caterpillar's turbo supply chain to repairing Garrett's UK manufacturing arm. Not even a union strike could stop this determined engineer.

Matt and Goldberg welcome Gale Banks of Banks Power on the show and talk to him about everything from compound supercharging to the testing he's doing on his vehicles.

Comparing the L5P and the LML with Gale Banks is like getting a guided tour of the Vatican from the Pope. The Godfather of Diesel knows the L5P because he's been working with it for several years, long before the recent announcement about tune support for the platform. In this episode, Gale talks to Duramaxtuner's Nick Priegnitz and Paul Wilson about each component of the L5P and how it compares to its predecessor, the LML. Another technical podcast - a perfect prep for the future of diesel performance.  Special thanks to our sponsors: Wehrli Custom Fabrication WCFAB.COM Exergy Performance Exergyperformance.com Calibrated Power Solutions Calibratedpower.com Duramaxtuner.com 

All week we've made a deep dive on several episodes, talking about the next generation Duramax. In this episode, we continue diving. Gale Banks talks with Nick Priegnitz and Paul Wilson about the importance of swirl - an obscure process that seems to make all the difference in diesel engines. So don't mess with it! Thanks to our sponsors: Wehrli Custom Fabrication WCFab.com Exergy Performance Exergyperformance.com Calibrated Power Solutions Calibratedpower.com Duramaxtuner.COM

L5P Week continues with the episode where diesel legend Gale Banks describes the redesign of the Duramax 6.6L top end. It gets pretty technical but it's worth it because you're listening to the future of diesel performance.  Thanks to our Sponsors: Wehrli Custom Fabrication WCFab.com Exergy Performance Exergyperformance.com Calibrated Power Solutions calibratedpower.com Duramaxtuner.com  

L5P Week on the Diesel Performance Podcast continues. In this episode, Gale Banks explains why the L5P is his "go-to" engine for military applications. The DPP is revisiting all L5P related episodes this week to correspond with the announcement that 17+ Duramax tuning is on the near horizon.  Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: Wehrli Custom Fabrication WCFab.com Exergy Performance exergyperformance.com Calibrated Power Solutions Calibratedpower.com Duramaxtuner.COM

Gale Banks demonstrates the Duramax L5P's ability to deliver astonishing head flow numbers when compared to the LML. In this episode, recorded last May at Banks Power HQ near Los Angeles, Nick Pregnitz and Paul Wilson learn how the movement of fuel in the cylinder helps make more power during combustion. The swirl can help deliver oxygen to ensure all the fuel burns in the cylinder. Without good swirl, the result would be a lot of smoke. 

This is the audio version of a video posted on Facebook and YouTube.  The Diesel Performance Podcast visits Banks Power and talks with Gale Banks about the new Duramax L5P. We see the L5P disassembled with each component (turbo, connecting rods, pistons, injectors, cylinder head, and more) - examined and compared to the Duramax LML. It's a fascinating up close look at the new engine and all the performance improvements General Motors included. Bottom line: the L5P redefines and reshapes diesel like never before. Get ready for an exciting future in diesel performance.

Gale Banks returns to the Diesel Performance Podcast for an incredibly deep dive into the L5P top end. Banks holds enormous respect for the next-gen Duramax - it's ruggedness and power potential. Yes, we hear a specific horsepower number from Gale. Paul, Nick, and Gale go into the new Duramax oiling system, pistons, heads, and other topics. Gale also digs into his work with his Duramax builds for performance applications. Get comfortable - sit back - and enjoy hearing from master engine visionary Gale Banks.   Gale Banks L5P article Banks L5P Breakdown

The legendary Gale Banks returns to the Diesel Performance Podcast. In this episode, Paul, Danny, and Nick Priegnitz learn about Gale's work with the new Duramax engine, the L5P. This episode examines the L5P's bottom end, along with the engine's amazing performance potential. Gale hopes to use the new design to reach 400 mph with a diesel at Bonneville The credit goes to GM, according to Gale. All the new and improved features on the L5P grew from GM's own design team.  Gale and Nick then get into the weeds on DYNOs - a mutual passion. Gale believes DYNOs should focus on measuring the horsepower and torque for specific performance applications, like drag racing, sled pulling or engine design. He cannot understand the usefulness of the so-called DYNO-Queens or trucks built for the purpose of hitting a number only. The podcast with Gale concludes with a detailed discussion about air density in diesel performance. Gale also describes a new device that will measure boost air density called the iDash C(2)i - which stands for command, control, and information.   

The Diesel Performance Podcast welcomes the legendary engine builder and performance visionary Gale Banks of Banks Engineering. Wow! That's the best word to describe this podcast. Danny, Paul and Nick Priegnitz spend more than an hour downloading Gale's vast memory - nearly 60 years - of innovation in diesel performance on both land and water. Gale's first experience with turbocharging dates back to 1966; first twin turbo engine in 1969 - it was a marine application. In 1978, Gale turbocharged GM's 6.2L diesel. In 1987, he built the powertrain behind the world's fastest passenger car - a twin-turbo build that hit 283 mph at Bonneville. Today Banks Engineering develops military applications for the latest diesel from GM, the L5P. Specifically, Gale is developing powertrains for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) for military vehicle builder Oshkosh. The spectrum of topics includes an insightful discussion about air-fuel ratios, DYNOS, and the decision to use Duramax engines in military vehicles instead of Cummins. If a podcast could make you gain weight, you'd put on several pounds with this episode. It's a full, seven-course meal of knowledge and information that gets a little rowdy. Enjoy. 

Our old friend Aaron Gold joins us once again, this time we almost sort-of get on the topic of the automotive industry.  In the mean time, Aaron shares stories from when he worked for Gale Banks, the difference between and exhaust brake and jake brake, the finer points of horse ownership, how Android is snooping on our conversations, Matt's mother's minor obsession with writing instruction manuals, and of course knock-off GoPros.
